"They couldn't pull her up out of the car until they got the car up from the trees, the utility pole and all of that," Ramage said.

"(They) pulled her out and put a tarp around her. I didn't get to see anything but a body bag go into the coroner's vehicle" on the news.

Ramage, 49, had foot surgery earlier in June, and was confined to a nursing home to stay off her feet.

Despite the lack of a proper goodbye, she said keeping her four grandchildren's minds off of their mother's death has been tougher.

"It's just really hard; you got to try to keep their minds off everything because they don't forget – you don't want them to forget their mother, but you want them to forget the pain. That's the hardest part of it," she said.

The family is moving Higgins' four boys – ages 2, 4, 7 and 10 – into a new home with Ramage's other daughter, Jessica, 23, where Ramage may join them later. Higgins lived with the boys in Section 8 housing, but that is no longer provided due to Higgins' death.

"Having to get a place, having to get money for a place – we've gone through the ringer," Ramage said.

"I caught her oldest (son) ... standing at his mom's urn, bawling his eyes out. We got so much going on here, my daughter (Jessica) hasn't even had time to grieve yet."

Williams made it more than a month after the crash before he was arrested, hiding in an attic in a Miami Township home. He was charged Thursday with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of leaving the scene of a fatal crash.

Ramage is not sympathetic.

"If he would have wrecked that car, called the ambulance, called police and said I'm sorry, then I wouldn't be so hateful toward him," she said.

"I tell my friends I have this hate for this man and there's no words for how I hate him."

Later, she found the words.

"I'm angry and – truth of the matter is – everybody wants to know how you feel about him and ... it's not a very Christian thing to say – is I want him dead, and I want him to suffer, and I want his mother to suffer just like we did," Ramage said.

"If I have to pray for myself so God don't get mad at me for it, I will."
